Author Bio
Fernando “Red Star” Bueno (aka
dukkhah) has been a gamer since
opening his first Atari, and has been
writing creatively since his early years in
high school. During college he combined
his loves for gaming and writing and
began freelancing for popular gaming websites. The
San Diego native found his way to Northern California
shortly after high school. After graduating from the
University of California, Davis, with a dual degree in
English and art history, he was able to land a job as
an editor for Prima Games. Though happy with his
position as an editor, his life called him to Las Vegas
where he now resides. During the move to Nevada, he
also made the move to author and has since written
a number of game books, including Naruto Uzumaki
Chronicles 2, Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, Fight
Night Round 3, and Stubbs the Zombie.
In his time off he enjoys the works of Hermann
Hesse, Johann Van Goethe, Franz Kafka, and EGM.
When not writing for Prima, he continues to work on
his craft as a poet.

Dedication
Every job requires a good crew. To pull off this job, I had to rely heavily on my crew. Thanks to Mario
De Govia for being both my wheel man and enforcer, and to Shaida Boroumand for being the best
“technician” in the biz. Without them, I’m nothing more than a lone gun. Thanks also to my black
market contacts, Rony Chammas and David Woldman at EA, for providing me all the intel I needed
to put this book together. Extra special thanks to Rony for immortalizing Mario and me by making us
a part of The Godfather II’s living world ... and allowing me to finally whack Mario.
Finally, I’d like to dedicate this book to my lifelong friends (and brothers), David “Manito”
Magnan and Alexis “Powerhouse” Pappas. If ever there were two people that I’d take a bullet for, it’s
them. Long live the spectrum, fellas.
Welcome to the Family
You are about to become a part of something that is much bigger than you—a secret brotherhood
that has many names. Whether its “this thing of ours,” the Mafia, or Cosa Nostra, the brotherhood
will become your number one priority. It will become the one thing by which you set your clock and
live your life. To become a Don you must carefully expand your family, guide your men with wisdom,
and ruthlessly eliminate the rival families. You’re not the only aspiring Don, however, so prepare to
encounter resistance. While you expand your family’s control over New York, Miami, and Havana,
other families will vie for control as well. The only way to win the vicious tug-of-war is with the
information contained in the following pages.

This Thing of Ours Section
The Godfather II game is not like other open-ended games. Though it does have a main plot to follow that is connected
to specific missions, the world around you will continue to live with or without you. As you take over businesses to
increase your strength and grow your family, other rival families will vie for the same power. In doing so, you will become
a part of a violent struggle between you and the other families.
The This Thing of Ours chapter will detail the various strategies and intricacies of the criminal tug-of-war. As you
complete plot missions (detailed in Chapter 6: The Rise of a Don), you will also have to attack, defend, and often bounce
from city to city as you maintain power. Use the This Thing of Ours chapter to learn how to best attain and maintain
power as you climb the underground criminal ladder.

This thing of ours goes by many names—organized crime, the Mafia, Cosa Nostra, and so on.
What none of those names convey, however, is the delicate balance of give and take between rival
families, the violent tug-of-war where “mom and pop” businesses become valuable commodities,
and the intense chess game where made men are pawns, rooks, bishops, and knights. The only
way to truly experience those nuances is to put on your black leather gloves, don a trench coat,
and head out into the city to make your way up the underworld ranks.
The world of the Godfather II is a living, breathing playground teeming with people who need
dark favors, businesses begging to become fronts, and wiseguys looking for a foot in the door
to this thing of ours. The following pages will teach you everything you need to know about this
(under) world and how to best make your way through it.
Last Man Standing
Your goal is to be the last man standing. Each city—New York, Miami, and Havana—is home to several families that
maintain control over the city’s small businesses and rackets. Though your ultimate goal is to get rid of all rival families,
there are several ways for you to approach your task.

Because it’s so easy to lose the bonus, it’s of paramount importance
that you protect your interests. Immediately after taking over a business, hire
guards to protect it. If a rival family attacks and attempts to take a business
from you, they’ll have to eliminate all of your guards to do so. The more
guards you have at a racket, the harder it will be to take over. If a family can’t
take over a business, they’ll resort to bombing it and shutting it down. While
a bombed business does you no good, it’s better than the alternative—at
least it’s still in your control until it is rebuilt.
You can also send made men from your crew to help
your guards defend a business that is under attack.

A man in your family is ready to
go at all times, but can be given
a multitude of tasks via the

however, is by your side in the
thick of things. When attacking
a rival family business enlist men from your family into your crew and take them with you to do the job. If you’re not sure
what specialties you will need for the job, approach the job with a skeleton crew (a safecracker and/or medic), then call
on the last man from the Don’s View. If you’re in the midst of taking on a business and can’t get past the locked door with
a fist icon on it, call on your bruiser to join the crew and he’ll immediately join you at the site.
The only drawback to not having a crew with you at all times is that if you send a man in the family to bomb a rival
racket, you’ll have to wait for his cooldown period to expire before you can sign him up to the crew. During a heated
back-and forth war with a rival family, you’ll need every man you can get.

The Manganos
Boss: Samuele Mangano
Samuele Mangano inherited his crime family from his father, and is part of a long lineage of Sicilian Mafiosos. His small
empire is run like a well-oiled machine, and Mangano enforces a strict code of tradition and omertà. Mangano is deeply
respected by the community, and not territorially ambitious. His family has been running Sicily for generations, and they
have become enormously powerful as a result. Mangano is not complacent, though, and has stayed on top by ruthlessly
(and violently) dispatching challengers to his family. His love of tradition extends to Mafia justice; the more “poetic,”
the better.

The Shredder—Shotgun
PROS
CONS
Very high damage
Short range
Like the Magnum, the shotgun is a very powerful weapon capable
of instantly killing a target with one shot. Unfortunately, it also shares
the Magnum’s deficiency—a short range. Though the shotgun is not
very accurate, it doesn’t need to be. When used at short range, the
shotgun can shred through a target with ease. So while it is useless for
headshots from afar, it can decapitate an enemy up close.
The shotgun’s reticle is not unlike the Magnum’s—slow to shrink—
but covers a decent area when not going for precision aiming. Use the
shotgun whenever you’re leading the way and need to clear a path into
a heavily guarded building. Don’t be afraid to use the shotgun against
multiple enemies—one shot at close range can easily drop two or
three enemies.

The Riot Queller—Automatic
PROS
CONS
High rate of fire
High recoil
Automatic weapons might not be the most discrete weapons (they’ll get a lot of
attention in public when unholstered), but they can get you out of a pinch like
no other. Whenever you’re surrounded by enemies or are facing a moderatesize crowd, rely on your automatic weapon to put the crowd down. Automatic
weapons won’t immediately drop a foe at any range, but they can distribute
damage across several targets with ease.
Of all the firearms’ reticles, the automatic’s is the most unconventional.
Shaped like an odd-looking “T,” the reticle shrinks to indicate increased
accuracy, but its high recoil makes the reticle hard to read when shooting for
long periods of time. To circumvent this inconvenience and maintain the highest
accuracy possible with automatics, use short, controlled bursts instead of long
streams of weapon fire.

The One-Stop Shot—Sniper Rifle
PROS
CONS
Very high accuracy
Low rate of fire
The shotgun is great at extreme close range. Automatics are great a
moderate range. And while the pistols are good for long range, no weapon
matches the sniper rifle’s range and accuracy. Whenever you need to take
out a target from a distance, whether it is to fulfill a kill condition or clip
someone and fulfill a favor without bringing down the heat, the sniper rifle is
the way to go. Sure, you can use it at close range, but with such a low rate
of fire, you’ll more than likely stir up a hornet’s nest and get yourself killed
while you reload.
Instead, use the sniper rifle solely for assassinations. Even if you don’t
get a clean headshot on an enemy, the rifle’s high damage ability increases
the chances of a one-shot kill. Don’t use it against large groups (more than
five men) though. By the time you’ve reloaded for your second or third shot,
the group will scatter, making your accuracy useless.

Explosives
Nothing says “burn in Hades” like a Molotov cocktail to the face. Although you won’t use explosives as often as
firearms or even some melee weapons, their high damage ability makes them invaluable weapons in any fight ...
especially against crowds.
Boom Boom Devices
All three explosives work similarly. Just cock your arm back, hurl your
explosive at your targets, and watch them burn. The only exception are
Molotov cocktails. Instead of waiting for a timer to count down as you would
with dynamite or time bombs, Molotovs explode on impact and engulf
everything within their range in flames. This makes Molotovs the most
instantly gratifying explosives available.
Regardless of how long they take to detonate, all three explosives
are extremely useful against small groups of enemies, vehicles, and for
blowing up gas tanks and other explosive objects. Whenever you’re using
explosives, be careful not to hurl them near your own men or to walk into a
Molotov cocktail’s flames after chucking it at your rivals.

Prologue: Hellish Havana
Your first piece of real action occurs in Cuba. And though you will eventually return, your stay here for
now is short and very structured, and serves more as an introduction to the controls. Because that is the
case, this first section of the walkthrough is not formatted like the rest. Maps and key locations will be
detailed in the following walkthrough chapters.
Our story begins not in New York where one might expect,
but amidst a turbulent time on a little island 90 miles off
the coast of Miami. As the Cuban sun sets, Don Michael
Corleone and his associate Hyman Roth celebrate Roth’s
birthday. As Mr. Roth celebrates his birthday, he also relishes
in his and Don Corleone’s business accomplishments in
the small country. Their partnership with the current Cuban
government has yielded profitable results. But all of that is

you can, you’ll be visiting here again sooner
or later.
The champagne cork pops and the fireworks begin.
As you mingle with the crowd, you spy Don Corleone by
the balcony. Walk up to the Don and speak to him. He
has big plans for the coming year and hopes that you
will be a part of them. In the meantime, however, Don

Carmine Rosato’s compound is surprisingly
straightforward. Although there is a front
door, the best method of entrance is
through the destructible side door on the
building’s left. While infiltrating, be careful
not to get flanked by the guards in the
guest house, which is just left of the main
building. Use the cars in the driveway as
distraction by setting them on fire when
you attack.
There is a Level 2 Magnum upgrade inside
Carmine’s compound. It’s located inside the
short hall containing two bronze busts.

11 Tony Rosato Compound
Tony Rosato’s compound has multiple points
of entry. Either attack via the alley on the
right of the compound through a left side
door (requires a bruiser), or a distractible
wall (requires a demo expert) on the far
left of the compound. Regardless of which
route you take to penetrate the compound’s
defenses, prepare for a fierce firefight in the
compound’s backyard. It’s the only way to
gain entrance into the main building.

The New York Federal Building is where
the Senatorial Hearings are being held.
Inside, the large Palladian building has

rooms. The room on the far right has a safe.
13 New York Safe House
Don Corleone gives you this safehouse in
New York as a gift. Use it to stock up on
ammo, lie low to let the heat die down, and
to finish certain favors or bank robberies.
After robbing a bank or performing a favor
that requires you to crack a safe, you must
return to your safehouse to stash the goods.
The only way to successfully complete these
tasks is to return to your safehouse, so
commit its location to memory!

Chapter 1: A Message to Carmine
Six weeks after returning from Havana, the Corleone
compound is abuzz with activity. In recent weeks, Tony
and Carmine Rosato branched out on their own and have
established a criminal presence in New York. While Don
Corleone and Fredo don’t suspect Hyman Roth to be
involved in the Rosato surge, Frank Pentangeli does. He
insists that Don Corleone take action on the traitorous Roth!
Instead, Don Corleone suspects that the Rosato brothers
are working alone. Rather than risk his business with Hyman
Roth, he prefers that you send a message to Carmine
Rosato, the weaker of the two brothers.

You’ve got two solid points of attack on Richie’s Tavern.
The first is an all out assault from within. Because the
proprietor is actually on the roof of the tavern, you can
enter from the main entrance then take the stairs at the
rear of the tavern to the roof.
The other point of entry is to sneak around the rear
of the tavern and take the fire escape stairs. Sneak
up the steps and immediately open fire on the guards
surrounding the tavern’s owner. The following section
will detail the first method of entry: through the bar.

Chapter 2: A Growing Family and the Family Business
Back at the compound, Don Corleone has some words
of wisdom. You’ve sent Carmine a message by taking a
few of his rackets, but you’re going to need to hold on to
those businesses. Don Corleone suggests that you grow
your family’s ranks by recruiting more men.
The rise to power is difficult, but maintaining your
seat at the top is even more difficult. Without the right
people underneath you, your position of power is shaky.
And with Carmine now gunnin’ after you, you’re going to

Your next step is clear. If you’re
going to continue to grow
your family and expand your
business in New York, you
must take it away from Carmine
Rosato. Of course, the only
way to remove Carmine from
power is to whittle his strength down, then strike.
Begin by clipping the men underneath him. Rosato’s made men are the source of his strength. If you take them
out, Rosato’s defenses will weaken and you’ll be able to go after the head of the snake. After speaking with the Don,
exit the safehouse and go to Frank Pentangeli.

There are several entries into the ABF Ltd. construction site. While the two front
entries lead you into the most resistance from guards, they also lead you to the
gas main and electrical box (the gas main is in front of the office on the front of
the site while the electrical box is behind it.) To reach the proprietor fastest, take
the rear, right-corner entrance (requires an engineer to cut through a fence)
and proceed directly to the stairs leading up to the top of the
site. Dash across the roof, then back down the stairs into the

The Astoria Construction site has two entrances. Luckily, both lead you exactly
where you need to go. Once inside the site, take the steps on the right up to
the multilevel building. Circle around each level, climbing as you go, until you
reach the proprietor. The gas main and electrical box are
both attached to the small office on the exterior of the site.

The Basso Oil Fill & Go is a small business, but can still be tough to

burn down the second door leading to the proprietor’s office.

The Basso Oil Refinery can be very
confusing to navigate with its many ladders, stairs, and walkways. To
enter the labyrinthine complex, either cut the fence at the far-left side of
the facility (which leads to a small room with the electrical box), or burst
through the main gates. The proprietor is in a room at the rear of the
complex, on the second level. Although the gas main is

Compounds
26 Granados Compound
Rico Granados’s compound is a large
Spanish villa-style complex with a wide
open courtyard in the center. At the
far right side of the villa is the main
building. You can access the building
either by going through the middle,
sweeping around the left side toward
the rear, or cutting through the center
to the right.
27 Mangano Compound
Of all the rival family compounds, the
Manganos’ compound is by far the
most modern. Set against an ocean
backdrop, the compound is very angular
and nearly impenetrable save for one
long passageway on the complex’s
left. A frontal assault would only lead to
ambush as the front door is locked, and
the right of the complex is tightly hugged
by the shore.

He wants you to meet him down in Florida to talk about business opportunities.

For being such a small casino, the
Casino Havana sure is hard to take down ... as far as small businesses go. The front
door leads to a small entry room, then to the main casino. Downstairs is the vault,
which requires a safecracker and demo expert to access. If you have a safecracker
in your crew, you can infiltrate through the right-side door, which gives you immediate
access to the electrical box. To reach the proprietor, you also need a bruiser to bust
through a door. All in all, to completely take down this casino,
including the safe, you must have a bruiser, a safecracker, an
engineer, and a demolitions expert. The gas main is located

There are two entrances to the alley where the dissidents
are engaging the cops. If you want a more challenging
approach to this hit, direct your men through one
entrance, then circle around to the other. Squeeze the
dissidents from both sides. This approach also increases
the risk of catching the cops in a crossfire, however.
From the safety of your cover, draw your weapon—a
shotgun is very effective here—and take aim at the
nearest dissident. Pop him in the head, then rush out
from your covered position onto the roof. Order your men
toward the other dissident’s guards while you approach
the crowd with your gun blazing. The key to making this
a successful hit is to be fast. Rush toward the group and
wipe them out before they know what hit them.
As you approach, be very careful not to
hit any of the police officers. If you do,
they’ll turn on you like bees on honey. If
you do draw some heat, rush back to your
safehouse to wait it out before resuming your

succession, you gain a point multiplier. Ignite two
explosions, and you’ll gain a 2x point multiplier,
making your third explosion worth two times its
initial value.
Since each of the three types of explosive
items are worth different points, knowing
which type to target and when are the
keys to success. Barrels (shown in yellow
on your minimap) are worth 5 points. Gas
pumps (orange on the minimap) are worth
10 points, and large gas tanks (pink on the
minimap) are worth 20 points.
So instead of getting 5 points for a barrel, it’ll be worth
10. The more explosions you detonate in succession, the
higher your point multiplier will be. You can gain up to a
10x point multiplier. The higher your multiplier, the more
“on fire” your character will be ... literally.

experts are of vital importance. Keep as many as
possible on your team.
•
Always try to bring as many arsonists as possible to a
Fire Starter match.
•
Medics are almost as vital as arsonists. Arsonists/
medics are the most valuable specialists in this mode.
•
Just as in Fire Starter mode, medics are equally vital.
Try to bring demo/medic specialists.
•
If you see a rival engulfed in flames, kill him! You’ll
take his multiplier.
•
•
Similarly, if you are on fire, you become a target for the
other team; they will try to take your multiplier. So be
careful!
Demolition points are fixed in every map. That means
the demo points on every map are always in the
same spot and in the same order. Use this to your
advantage.
•
Success requires equal parts assault and defend.
If you don’t leave a few men to defend your demo
points, you’ll be quickly overrun by the opposite team.
•
Plan ahead. Keep one or two men near the next demo
point. Once the first demo point is taken, quickly move
in with the team waiting near the second demo point.
•
While the second demo point is being taken, move a
team near the third point.
•
After each team loses 2 demo points, the game boils
down to which team can protect their third demo
point the best. Keep your strongest players near your
weakest position!
•
Guard your teammate with a multiplier! Escort him
from explosion to explosion as you rack up the points.
•
Explosive points respawn. Don’t forget to return to
previous explosive points to detonate them again.
•
If you find several unguarded explosive points near
each other, bounce back and forth between them,
blowing them up, as you build up your multiplier.
•
Keep an eye on the 20-point explosive tank. It is
usually out in the open. If a rival tries to blow it up,
pick him off while he’s unguarded.

Move quickly! Don’t stay behind to protect safes of

•
The safes with the highest value are usually near the
center of the map and have a mirror safe nearby. Take
one, then rush across the center of the map to take its
sister safe. Once you have both, leave one or two men
behind to protect them fiercely.

Taking a safe away from the opposite team will take
twice as long as cracking an unclaimed safe. Be

Speed is of the essence. If you can crack the majority
